Ready set go

Chose my site! Just across the bridge from the busy part of town. Private, with lots of trees and along an interesting part of the MN River, but still close and accessible so as not to be totally exclusive.

A little diagram mapping out approximately how big each space in the program should be relative to each other. I think for this project, since my town is pretty small and probably wont have many members, it would be more economical to have multi-purpose spaces, like a ritual room that doubles as the auditorium? Just a thought.

Plan as of right now. There are two stories to separate the public and private and add more privacy. It is generally a linear progression, which is both symbolic and practical. It zig zags to represent the difficult twists and turns you must take and wander through to become a member, The two stories is also representative of the hierarchy in this organizatioin.

Concept sketches. I love doing these to doodle and brainstorm form ideas.

More concept brainstorming.

Starting to tie things together and come up with a form.


Where I'm at right now. Sarah gave me the idea of making parking underneath the second story? So far so good I hope.
